High-Level Project Summary
Our solution is a system of tracking of plastic trash around the seawater using a number of stations connected to each others via protocol LORA and each station has a drone that navigate to the detected object and send the data related to it to the AI server that send a notification to environment police via satellite.This solution has two major impacts, the first one is minimizing the loss of 14.1 millions in Tunisia each year,second one is making the people understand the importance of seawater in life.

Detailed Project Description
Our solution is a system based on a number of stations connected to each others via LORA protocol that has less cost, less energy consummation and more efficiency in transmitting data, each station has a underwater robot.
When the station detect an abnormal object via radiations .
the station will send the data to the underwater drone that will go to the object and calculate the salinity of the water, the presence of micro plastic materials.
The internet communication with the server is established by the LORA gateway.
when the robot detect the object, it'll send the picture to the AI server that recognize the object if it's plastic or not, if it's plastic it'll send the notification to the environment police via satellite image.
The AI modal is based on the deep learning Yolo modal that detect and recognize the object simultaneity and a modal of machine learning that collect the data of the localisations and the salinity and the water.
When the modal detect that the object is a plastic material, the server will send the order to the satellite to make it send a picture of the region to the police.
That's all you have to say in the video ,you can put the same thing in the description i mean in the form.
In the future, we want to secure the network that connect the stations to each others , we want to extend the project to make it usable in the ground, and we can make the project commercial for some hotels,
we'll focus on the future on collecting data of micro plastic, and we'll create a system of collecting the plastic rubbish on intelligent garbage.
Space Agency Data
EOSDIS Ocean Data has inspired us to understand better the relation between the winds speed, the direction and the plastic materials on water.
Unwelcome enrichment in the Arctic has inspired us to collect data about the micro plastic materials on seawater.
Hackathon Journey
Teamwork under pressure while not giving up and trying to improve the land through NASA SPACE APPS CHALLENGE.
